The more casual console collectors in the audience may scoff at the asking price for this PowerFest ’94 Competition Super Nintendo, but if you’ve got an extra fifty-thousand dollar bill lying around, you really can’t go wrong with this little stocking stuffer. Built for the Nintendo World Championships II competition, this one of a kind survivor — only 32 were made, they say — from the early ’90s is a hidden bargain.
Why? According to the seller, it features level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, five laps of the first track from Super Mario Kart and the home run derby from Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball. That’s practically a hundredth of a full game, right there!

what a moron. there is no-one in the world that is going to pay that sort of money for an snes. i dont care if it could fly around the world i still wouldnt pay that much. for a true collector its “maybe” worth $500-$800 at the absolute most. he’ll prolly get a mate to bid on it just to make it look like it’s getting some interest. hahaha
thanx Kotaku for a huge laugh at this clowns expense ;)
